Jubo league, a sister organization of the ruling party Awami League, has expelled its Office Secretary Kazi Anisur Rahman for amassing illegal wealth through unfair means. The decision came from an emergency meeting of the presidium members of the organization at its office on Friday.

Presidium member Sheikh Atiar Rahman Dipu confirmed the matter. “The presidium members reached a consensus on the decision to expell Kazi Anisur Rahman. We have removed him from the organisation accordingly,” Dipu said. The organisation is yet to decide on whether to make a temporary appointment to the post, according to Dipu.

Anisur has been facing allegations of amassing a huge amount of illegal wealth through extortion, charging commissions from tenders and offering different posts in the organisation to the highest bidder. He went into hiding in the wake of the ongoing crackdown on illegal casinos business.

Anisur was appointed as the deputy office secretary to the organisation in 2012 before being promoted to the vacant post of office secretary six months later.
